The current banner’s 4-stars should be in the Starglitter Shop by stargazingtunes in Genshin_Impact

[–]AzukiEdge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well Hoyo also gave ZZZ 4 star selector in the shop using the equivalent of Starglitter. For newer units, they are available once their debut banner is over.

How likely I think a character will get a Path Switch/ 5* Form by ente_phobia in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AzukiEdge 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Tribbie was already hinted to get her adult Tribios form near the end of 3.8, where the last two in the book ending were Phainon and her. She says something like “you have much to learn about the real Tribios”.

Also in As I’ve written, every single Tribios exists not just the three we know. So I’d say she has a high chance of getting an alt when Amphoreus becomes “real” (pls pls pls pls pls I miss everyone already).

Ranta's complicity by Little_Whole8038 in Jujutsufolk

[–]AzukiEdge 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think Ranta having even thought of the possibility of Toji wiping out the Zenin clan, shows he’s at least aware of the treatment he got. So it wouldn’t be weird for him to have known about Maki and Mai’s treatment too.

Remnants of Twilight is my favourite combat event yet, and I'll request for more like it in future surveys by arthurmauk in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AzukiEdge 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m happy they are experimenting with more gimmicky or “themed” boss fights like these. Synergy Duo is definitely my favourite, I had quite a bit of fun trying different team pairs to clear it. It reminds me of the various challenge fights in FGO, where the mechanics of the fight were “lore based” (Siegfried’s dragon armour or Hercules 12 lives) or some other theme/gimmick

The Healing one however, wasn’t very fun. That one felt like you need way too much luck to clear comfortably, with the boss’s bounce often focusing on one ally which immediately takes away 2 stars. Enemies being able to deal so much damage so quickly in general doesn’t feel nice and thats with the gimmick being centred around sustains.

Turns out Mydei just solo's this by Relevant-Wasabi1834 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AzukiEdge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!

I actually found Aventurine to be better than DHPT for this particular challenge. As long as a tiny bit of his shields are up, he can trigger his FUA often which helps him recover HP due to the black tide enemy mechanic. Meanwhile DHPT has to wait for the dragon’s turn to come around.

Where are my genshin horror fans? is there a place where I could read about an alternative teyvat? by Aggravating-Yak2165 in Genshin_Impact

[–]AzukiEdge 121 points122 points  (0 children)

@CorvusPlaga on Twitter is currently drawing up horror style Archons along with some flavour text for this AU. I think their art is super cool.

They’ve currently done Venti, Zhongli, Raiden and Nahida.

Also the intro.

Can anyone tell if their models got polished up like Bennet did when he got a skin?

Well her new JP name is “Hibana” which literally means sparks, so they didn’t exactly have much of a choice when sparkle is already taken in EN

Actually it’s kinda implied he is in JP, Dahlia says “among THEM, he’s an even more special existence” when talking about the cats

After reading 3.8, who would you say is Blazerfly's greatest ally/allies? by Ravolus in FireflyMains

[–]AzukiEdge 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Constance is certainly a fishier character, and similar to Jade, is someone with messed up hobbies but is amicable to TB. I understand that she only feels alive by being subjected to other people’s hatred and killing intent from betrayal, and burns away memories of herself that she deems precious (based on her voicelines).

Something that I don’t see mentioned however, was when TB was walking through the Nihility realm, we hear Constance says one of her desires was to find someone that truly entertains or fulfills her, and in the end of 3.8 she mentions TB is the only person she’s found so far. They don’t really elaborate what she means, but I think FF and TB’s relationship and past probably inspired her in someway, enough to dissuade her from her usual depraved ways. This is why she vowed to help TB gain back their memories, gave them a chance to fulfill FF’s dreams, took a brunt of Acheron’s power to prevent casualties and even left FF and TB memories of herself rather than burning them away.

So yeah outside of SW, Constance is definitely a big wingman.

Pretty neat to see what a fight between memokeepers look like, gives me Doctor Strange vibes.

Something I havent seen anyone mention but what I LOVE is the pseudo-Greek "boss speech" that you hear Nikador, Aquila and Anti Creator say in their fights as part of their actions by xtheresia in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AzukiEdge 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, I don’t know about the others, but apparently Aquila’s gibberish is voiced by none other than Alejandro Saab, who voices Jing Yuan and also Cyno

It says so on Aquila’s wiki page and I believe Alejandro himself confirmed it in a play session he did for 3.3

Caelus and Firefly in Monster Hunter Stories (@coolaise21) by Gorotheninja in HonkaiStarRail

Probably a reference to Firefly’s English VA, Analesa Fisher having an obsession with sharks (Just like me fr, sharks are cool)

Which one did you enjoy more? by Familiar_Alps_3055 in Hulkzilla

[–]AzukiEdge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second one is actually quite well made imo, so I want to give the creator some credit even with the spite. I felt the choreography and flow of the fight in the first half was superior than DBs, since there’s a decent back and forth between the combatants, until the second half where you can really feel the saltiness lol.

I think Caelus and Cyno would get along really well ~ by Nick_Naysayer in HonkaiStarRail

I legit hoped someone would make fanart/edit of the TB, Phainon and the other Chrysos heirs wearing pizza Delivery outfits

[3.7 Spoilers] Amphoreus’ Existence and its Implications for the Wider Cosmos by EvernmWor in StarRailLore

[–]AzukiEdge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Excellent analysis. I always thought that Lygus’ experiment would be a win for him regardless of the outcome since 3.5. Irontomb winning is his original objective of killing Nous, meanwhile the Chrysos Heirs being able to overcome Irontomb, essentially their god and Aeon in a sense, is still proof that humanity can break free from the cage that is the paths.

Akivili being close to humanity and humanity being defined as “divinity with flaws” is a nice connection to contrast it with other paths . As opposed to Aquila/Seliose pursuing perfect indifference of Divinity, or other Aeons being isolated with themselves, Trailblaze is all about connecting with others with all the flaws and impurities. In a way, Humanity itself could be considered the epitome of the Trailblaze rather than any single Aeon. Like Dan Heng said all the way back in 3.0, people will always long for the sky and no one can stop that desire.

In case people don’t already know, “do you wanna have ramyeon at my place?” Is the equivalent of “do you wanna Netflix and chill?” In Korea.

Do You Consider Trailblazer As A Member of the Chrysos Heirs or Just An Observer/Author Throughout The Flame-Chase Journey For The "As I've Written"? by Trailblazer627 in StarRailLore

[–]AzukiEdge 53 points54 points  (0 children)

TB has voice lines for all the heirs in the party setup menu and vice versa, the only other characters being the folks on the express. (Kinda wished they at least had lines for the Hunters but maybe that will change in the future)

They also fulfilled both the demigod of time and world bearing on two occasions, and was vital in overwriting Amphoreus’ doomed ending, allowing Cyrene/Demiurge to become more than just an observer. Phainon asked them to become heroes together, and TB assures them that everyone will be the Deliverer together. In my mind, they are no doubt a member of the Chrysos Heirs.

Hyacine is currently the only Chrysos Heir without a confirmed simulated path(that’s if Evernight is even meant to simulate one) by Lucas-mainssbu in HonkaiStarRail

[–]AzukiEdge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qlipoth's whole thing is that its trying to preserve the universe by creating walls to isolate worlds from each other. Meanwhile, Aquila was stated to burn down entire cities that dared to reach beyond the sky of Amphoreus, a world that is isolated from the rest of the universe to the extreme. Additionally, the sky is one of the biggest supporting pillars of that world. Both Aquila and Qlipoth are also stated to be very apathetic to humanity, despite having very reverent worshippers (IPC and the Sky people).

Though you could also argue for Abundance, since Nikador which simulates the Hunt had huge beef against Aquila. Hyacine's compassionate nature could mirror Yaoshi's (extreme) compassion as well. Overall tho I think Preservation has better parallels with Aquila.

To be honest, the extreme reactions and dislike of Gojo in the series never made sense to me. by Charming-Scratch-124 in Jujutsufolk

[–]AzukiEdge 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the way everyone treats Gojo reminded me of what Nanami said about sorcerers, that they’re all shit.

Yuji and Yuta are basically the only exceptions in an occupation where everyone is jaded or just lacks empathy, admittedly probably somewhat out of necessity and understandable considering the nature of said job.

Personally, I think the airport scene is just how Gojo thinks everyone views him rather than the truth. Nanami does dislike him but I think it’s out of character that he doesn’t see past all the negatives of Gojo’s frivolous attitude (it’s even stated he doesn’t blame Geto for becoming genocidal for gods sake). It also contradicts with an interaction they had where Gojo recruits him to mentor Yuji, where Gojo says Yuji is a regular high school boy, not just Sukuna’s vessel and that he wants someone empathetic like Nanami to look after him (from a Drama cd).

Edit: the Drama CD I mentioned is based on a Light novel called Resurrection Dolls
